Security is a journey, not a destination. This is the story of how one organization leveraged organizational commitment – – not huge budgets, or large staffs of dedicated experts to accelerate security maturity. Together, CynergisTek’s David Finn and Dave Bailey will speak with a special guest on their security journey. Session takeaways include: 

• Understand how an organization moved from 73% conformance with NIST CSF to 100% in three years with 15% improvement in just the last year. 

• Recognize that security crosses almost all operational and functional line in a healthcare setting and how to engage that leadership. 
• Appreciate how risks are constantly changing and they represent not just technical issues but can impact quality of care and clinical operations.
